lyrics

The summer that I was gone
It was still early on
I called you every night

You were putting the blonde in your hair
I was singing my songs
You tried so hard to care


It was easier to be incomplete
When your missing piece was never me

So you drowned your stars In city lights
You hid your scars with tattoos and red wine
When I think back on the girls I knew
No one could fake a smile quite like you

You moved out in fall
The house had grown small
When your dad met his new wife

You put your posters away while you cried
The tape peeled the paint
You left us all behind


It was easier to be incomplete
When your missing piece isn’t what they want to see

Beautiful, it’s not your fault
You only showed what you thought I’d (we’d) want to see
I know it now but it took too long
It was her you wanted all along
But your parents want their baby
The wedding from their magazines
To fix their broken family


So you drown your stars in city lights
You hide your scars with tattoos and red wine
When I think back on the girls I knew
No one could fake a smile quite like you
But they didn’t have to
